Guess what? iTunes introduced DRM free music but with strings called tiered pricing. Guess what though? Consumers like songs at $.99. After a few days of sales, the songs at $1.29 are dropping in the charts.

Baker & Taylor, the largest distributor of books & entertainment (also the company that was downgraded by Moody’s like last month because of its huge debt load) has partnered with LibreDigital to provide digital content. “This partnership creates a Baker & Taylor digital warehouse, from which the company will offer publisher services to include asset management, format transformation, marketing services, and customized channel distribution.”

I read Dumb Money (book in your last link) and I really enjoyed it. If they do that (ebook first) they have to have a good relationship with the ebook-tailer to get it going though. I wouldn’t have bought it if I hadn’t seen it on Sony’s front page.
